Newsom says he'll sue Trump for deploying 300 California National Guard troops to Oregon

California Governor Gavin Newsom said he will take the Trump administration to court over the deployment of 300 California National Guard personnel to Oregon.

"After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon," Newsom said in a post on X on Oct. 5. "They are on their way there now."

Newsom's post followed a ruling by a federal judge late on Oct. 4 that temporarily blocked Trump from deploying 200 Oregon National Guard troops to the city of Portland.

The judge blocked Trump from sending the troops until at least October 18, citing a lack of evidence that recent protests necessitated the move.

"This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power. The Trump Administration is unapologetically attacking the rule of law itself," Newsom said in a separate statement.

The troops were put under federal control to respond to "perceived" problems in LA. Not Portland. The governor has a point. Shitler doesn't.

1. "Slippery Don" squirming and slithering through every crack and crevice he finds

He truly is like an insect, or a fungus, or a slimemold.

2. He's not that smart.

President Miller must be behind the behind.

3. He doesn't need to be smart.

Just have money and power and yell "Find me a loophole!" Been his M.O. his whole life.

5. He isn't using "loopholes". He is just doing illegal shit

and daring anybody to try to stop him.

6. Well, to him and people like him,

Doing illegal things is a way to delay justice. They may know it is illegal, but they also know that the process requires transit through our judicial system, with no adverse consequences at the end; and quite often actually, a reward from SCOTUS.

But, I'm preaching to the choir.

7. No question about that. And in Trump's case

he no longer has to fear any prosecution for anything. So why would he follow any laws?

He wouldn't, naturally.

4. Maybe

Newsom should think behind Shitler and sue Baby Goebbels and ICE Barbie and Ham Homan.....just a thought.
